  1. C# Language Overview(Part I) Data Types, Operators, Expressions, Statements, Console I/O, Loops, Arrays, Methods Svetlin Nakov Telerik Corporation www.telerik.com

  2. Table of Contents • Data Types • Operators • Expressions • Console I/O • Conditional Statements • Loops • Arrays • Methods

  3. Primitive Data Types

  4. Integer types are: sbyte (-128 to 127): signed 8-bit byte(0 to 255): unsigned 8-bit short (-32,768 to 32,767): signed 16-bit ushort (0 to 65,535): unsigned 16-bit int (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647): signed 32-bit uint (0 to 4,294,967,295): unsigned 32-bit Integer Types

  5. More integer types: long(-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807): signed 64-bit ulong (0 to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615): unsigned 64-bit Integer Types (2)

  6. Measuring time Depending on the unit of measure we may use different data types: Integer Types – Example byte centuries = 20; // Usually a small number ushort years = 2000; uint days = 730480; ulong hours = 17531520; // May be a very big number Console.WriteLine("{0} centuries is {1} years, or {2} days, or {3} hours.", centuries, years, days, hours);

  7. Floating-point types are: float (±1.5 × 10−45 to ±3.4 × 1038): 32-bits, precision of 7 digits double (±5.0 × 10−324 to ±1.7 × 10308): 64-bits, precision of 15-16 digits The default value of floating-point types: Is 0.0F for the float type Is 0.0D for the double type Floating-Point Types

  8. There is a special fixed-point real number type: decimal (±1,0 × 10-28 to ±7,9 × 1028): 128-bits, precision of 28-29 digits Used for financial calculations with low loss of precision No round-off errors The default value of decimal type is: 0.0M (M is the suffix for decimal numbers) Fixed-Point Types

  9. See below the difference in precision when using float and double: NOTE: The “f” suffix in the first statement! Real numbers are by default interpreted as double! One should explicitly convert them to float PI Precision – Example float floatPI = 3.141592653589793238f; double doublePI = 3.141592653589793238; Console.WriteLine("Float PI is: {0}", floatPI); Console.WriteLine("Double PI is: {0}", doublePI);

  10. Abnormalities in the Floating-Point Calculations • Sometimes abnormalities can be observed when using floating-point numbers • Comparing floating-point numbers can not be done directly with the ==operator • Example: float a = 1.0f; float b = 0.33f; float sum = 1.33f; bool equal = (a+b == sum); // False!!! Console.WriteLine("a+b={0} sum={1} equal={2}", a+b, sum, equal);

  11. The Boolean Data Type: Is declared by the bool keyword Has two possible values: true and false Is useful in logical expressions The default value is false The Boolean Data Type

  12. Here we can see how boolean variables take values of trueor false: Boolean Values – Example int a = 1; int b = 2; bool greaterAB = (a > b); Console.WriteLine(greaterAB); // False bool equalA1 = (a == 1); Console.WriteLine(equalA1); // True

  13. The Character Data Type: Represents symbolic information Is declared by the char keyword Gives each symbol a corresponding integer code Has a '\0' default value Takes 16 bits of memory (from U+0000 to U+FFFF) The Character Data Type

  14. The example below shows that every symbol has an its unique code: Characters and Codes char symbol = 'a'; Console.WriteLine("The code of '{0}' is: {1}", symbol, (int) symbol); symbol = 'b'; Console.WriteLine("The code of '{0}' is: {1}", symbol, (int) symbol); symbol = 'A'; Console.WriteLine("The code of '{0}' is: {1}", symbol, (int) symbol);

  15. The String Data Type: Represents a sequence of characters Is declared by the string keyword Has a default value null (no value) Strings are enclosed in quotes: Strings can be concatenated The String Data Type string s = "Microsoft .NET Framework";

  16. Concatenating the two names of a person to obtain his full name: NOTE: a space is missing between the two names! We have to add it manually Saying Hello – Example string firstName = "Ivan"; string lastName = "Ivanov"; Console.WriteLine("Hello, {0}!", firstName); string fullName = firstName + " " + lastName; Console.WriteLine("Your full name is {0}.", fullName);

  17. The object type: Is declared by the object keyword Is the “parent” of all other types Can take any types of values according to the needs The Object Type

  18. Example of an object variable taking different types of data: Using Objects object dataContainer = 5; Console.Write("The value of dataContainer is: "); Console.WriteLine(dataContainer); dataContainer = "Five"; Console.Write ("The value of dataContainer is: "); Console.WriteLine(dataContainer);

  19. Variables and Identifiers

  20. When declaring a variable we: Specify its type Specify its name (called identifier) May give it an initial value The syntax is the following: Example: Declaring Variables <data_type> <identifier> [= <initialization>]; int height = 200;

  21. Identifiers may consist of: Letters (Unicode) Digits [0-9] Underscore "_" Identifiers Can begin only with a letter or an underscore Cannot be a C# keyword Identifiers

  22. Identifiers Should have a descriptive name It is recommended to use only Latin letters Should be neither too long nor too short Note: In C# small letters are considered different than the capital letters (case sensitivity) Identifiers (2)

  23. Examples of correct identifiers: Examples of incorrect identifiers: Identifiers – Examples int New = 2; // Here N is capital int _2Pac; // This identifiers begins with _ string поздрав = "Hello"; // Unicode symbols used // The following is more appropriate: string greeting = "Hello"; int n = 100; // Undescriptive int numberOfClients = 100; // Descriptive // Overdescriptive identifier: int numberOfPrivateClientOfTheFirm = 100; int new; // new is a keyword int 2Pac;// Cannot begin with a digit

  24. Literals

  25. Examples of integer literals The '0x' and '0X' prefixes mean a hexadecimal value, e.g. 0xA8F1 The 'u' and 'U' suffixes mean a ulong or uinttype, e.g. 12345678U The 'l' and 'L' suffixes mean a long or ulongtype, e.g. 9876543L Integer Literals

  26. Note: the letter ‘l’ is easily confused with the digit ‘1’ so it’s better to use ‘L’!!! Integer Literals – Example // The following variables are // initialized with the same value: int numberInHex = -0x10; int numberInDec = -16; // The following causes an error, because 234u is of type uint int unsignedInt = 234u; // The following causes an error, because 234L is of type long int longInt = 234L;

  27. The real literals: Are used for values of type float and double May consist of digits, a sign and “.” May be in exponential formatting The “f” and “F” suffixes mean float The “d” and “D” suffixes mean double The default interpretation is double Real Literals

  28. Real Literals – Example • Example of incorrect float literal: • A correct way to assign floating-point value (using also the exponential format): // The following causes an error // because 12.5 is double by default float realNumber = 12.5; // The following is the correct // way of assigning the value: float realNumber = 12.5f; // This is the same value in exponential format: realNumber = 1.25e+1f;

  29. The character literals: Are used for values of the chartype Consist of two single quotes surrounding the value: '<value>' The value may be: Symbol The code of the symbol Escaping sequence Character Literals

  30. Escaping sequences are: Means of presenting a symbol that is usually interpreted otherwise (like ') Means of presenting system symbols (like the new line symbol) Common escaping sequences are: \' for single quote \" for double quote \\ for backslash \nfor new line Escaping Sequences

  31. Examples of different character literals: Character Literals – Example char symbol = 'a'; // An ordinary symbol symbol = '\u0061'; // Unicode symbol code in // a hexadecimal format symbol = '\''; // Assigning the single quote symbol symbol = '\\'; // Assigning the backslash symbol symbol = "a"; // Incorrect: use single quotes

  32. String literals: Are used for values of the string type Consist of two double quotes surrounding the value: "<value>" May have a @ prefix which ignores the used escaping sequences The value is a sequence of character literals String Literals

  33. Benefits of quoted strings (the @ prefix): In quoted strings \" is used instead of ""! String Literals – Example // Here is a string literal using escape sequences string quotation = "\"Hello, Jude\", he said."; string path = "C:\\WINNT\\Darts\\Darts.exe"; // Here is an example of the usage of @ quotation = @"""Hello, Jimmy!"", she answered."; path = @"C:\WINNT\Darts\Darts.exe";

  34. Operators in C#

  35. Categories of Operators in C#

  36. Operators Precedence

  37. Operators Precedence (2) • Parenthesis operator always has highest precedence • Note: prefer using parentheses, even when it seems stupid to do so

  38. Arithmetic operators +,-, *are the same as in math Division operator / if used on integers returns integer (without rounding) Remainder operator% returns the remainder from division of integers The special addition operator ++ increments a variable Arithmetic Operators

  39. Arithmetic Operators – Example int squarePerimeter = 17; double squareSide = squarePerimeter/4.0; double squareArea = squareSide*squareSide; Console.WriteLine(squareSide); // 4.25 Console.WriteLine(squareArea); // 18.0625 int a = 5; int b = 4; Console.WriteLine( a + b ); // 9 Console.WriteLine( a + b++ ); // 9 Console.WriteLine( a + b ); // 10 Console.WriteLine( a + (++b) ); // 11 Console.WriteLine( a + b ); // 11 Console.WriteLine(11 / 3); // 3 Console.WriteLine(11 % 3); // 2 Console.WriteLine(12 / 3); // 4

  40. Logical operators take boolean operands and return boolean result Operator !turns true to false and falsetotrue Behavior of the operators &&, ||and ^(1== true, 0== false) : Logical Operators

  41. Using the logical operators: Logical Operators – Example bool a = true; bool b = false; Console.WriteLine(a && b); // False Console.WriteLine(a || b); // True Console.WriteLine(a ^ b); // True Console.WriteLine(!b); // True Console.WriteLine(b || true); // True Console.WriteLine(b && true); // False Console.WriteLine(a || true); // True Console.WriteLine(a && true); // True Console.WriteLine(!a); // False Console.WriteLine((5>7) ^ (a==b)); // False

  42. Bitwise Operators • Bitwise operator ~turns all 0 to 1 and all 1 to 0 • Like !for boolean expressions but bit by bit • The operators |,& and^ behave like ||,&& and^ for boolean expressions but bit by bit • The << and >> move the bits (left or right) • Behavior of the operators|,& and^:

  43. Bitwise operators are used on integer numbers (byte, sbyte, int, uint, long, ulong) Bitwise operators are applied bit by bit Examples: Bitwise Operators (2) ushort a = 3; // 00000011 ushort b = 5; // 00000101 Console.WriteLine( a | b); // 00000111 Console.WriteLine( a & b); // 00000001 Console.WriteLine( a ^ b); // 00000110 Console.WriteLine(~a & b); // 00000100 Console.WriteLine( a<<1 ); // 00000110 Console.WriteLine( a>>1 ); // 00000001

  44. Comparison operators are used to compare variables ==,<,>,>=,<=,!= Comparison operators example: Comparison Operators int a = 5; int b = 4; Console.WriteLine(a >= b); // True Console.WriteLine(a != b); // True Console.WriteLine(a > b); // False Console.WriteLine(a == b); // False Console.WriteLine(a == a); // True Console.WriteLine(a != ++b); // False

  45. Assignment operators are used to assign a value to a variable , =,+=,-=,|=,... Assignment operators example: Assignment Operators int x = 6; int y = 4; Console.WriteLine(y *= 2); // 8 int z = y = 3; // y=3 and z=3 Console.WriteLine(z); // 3 Console.WriteLine(x |= 1); // 7 Console.WriteLine(x += 3); // 10 Console.WriteLine(x /= 2); // 5

  46. String concatenation operator +is used to concatenate strings If the second operand is not a string, it is converted to string automatically Other Operators string first = "First"; string second = "Second"; Console.WriteLine(first + second); // FirstSecond string output = "The number is : "; int number = 5; Console.WriteLine(output + number); // The number is : 5

  47. Member access operator . is used to access object members Square brackets []are used with arrays indexers and attributes Parentheses()are used to override the default operator precedence Class cast operator (type) is used to cast one compatible type to another Other Operators (2)

  48. Conditional operator ?: has the form (if b is true then the result is x else the result is y) The new operator is used to create new objects The typeof operator returns System.Type object (the reflection of a type) The is operator checks if an object is compatible with given type Other Operators (3) b ? x : y

  49. Using some other operators: Other Operators – Example int a = 6; int b = 4; Console.WriteLine(a > b ? "a>b" : "b>=a"); // a>b Console.WriteLine((long) a); // 6 int c = b = 3; // b=3; followed by c=3; Console.WriteLine(c); // 3 Console.WriteLine(a is int); // True Console.WriteLine((a+b)/2); // 4 Console.WriteLine(typeof(int)); // System.Int32 int d = new int(); Console.WriteLine(d); // 0

  50. Example of implicitand explicit conversions: Note: explicit conversion may be used even if not required by the compiler Type Conversions float heightInMeters = 1.74f; // Explicit conversion double maxHeight = heightInMeters; // Implicit double minHeight = (double) heightInMeters; // Explicit float actualHeight = (float) maxHeight; // Explicit float maxHeightFloat = maxHeight; // Compilation error!
